Calvin is here and HOME!



Today we brought Calvin home, the Gould's decorated the house with a sign and lots of blue balloons! We are so excited to have him and it is really nice to be home.

Calvin decided he wanted to start coming on Memorial Day, Susan began having consistent contractions at about 12 o'clock noon and we waited until 4 o'clock to finally go to the hospital. It wasn't until 4 o'clock the next morning that he finally came. Susan did so good the whole time, she was determined not to have an epidural or any other drugs but when she was about 6cm she asked for some medication. They gave her something through her IV that made her start hallucinating, it was really funny she was talking about Mario kart saying things like, "you knocked me off the rainbow road". Her sister Anna and my sister Ashley were both there the whole time and we got a good laugh out of it. She lasted all the way up to 9cm but the pain was too much she finally gave in and asked for an epidural. She said she was crazy for ever wanting to do it with out any drugs. Next time she says shes getting it right when she walks in the door. She was such a good pusher it only took 20 minutes to get him out. He was born at 4:18AM on May 27th, he weighed 7 lbs. 3 oz. he was 20 1/2 in. long, his head was 14 in. and his chest was 13 in.
